[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]H-B Woodlawn beats Langley and McLean?[/quote]

Yes. That's been the case for years.

It also has about 1/6 of the number of students as Langley or McLean. [/quote]

I thought they are traditionally in the 4th-6th spot range and the only Arlington school in the top ten most years.[/quote]

No, H-B usually is behind TJ in NoVa, and Yorktown is also always in the top 10 for NoVa.  Yorktown would drop out of the top 10 regionally if you added the top schools from suburban Maryland into the mix. [/quote]

Or had the diversity of some of the other schools...

#scores don't matter for the individual
#kids worse off applying to VA state universities with a homogenous population and quotas [/quote]

What "quotas"?  Are you saying the same number of kids get into U. Va. from Wakefield as from Yorktown?  Prove it. [/quote]

It's proven every spring. UVA takes from the top 10 percent of every school and roughly 30 percent of qualified applicants. Much easier to get into that group from a school like Wakefield. Less kids get in, but less apply. Your kids odds are better from mount vernon if they've  got great grades, scores and activities. 
I don't have a kid in one of those schools, but those types of schools are what we are targeting in our home search. We are talking about good school systems. I would not be so cavalier in DCPS. [/quote]
